Here is what's in store for you
Dive into London’s gin-soaked history with this semi-private London Gin Tasting Experience! Led by a local expert, you’ll explore the narrow streets of Covent Garden, stopping at legendary gin parlors and historic pubs for tastings. Along the way, you’ll learn about the fascinating history of gin, from its humble beginnings to its rise as a staple of British culture, as well as its darker moments during the infamous London gin craze.
Your experience begins in Seven Dials, and from there, your guide will lead you through the bohemian and bustling Covent Garden district. As you sample four different gins, you’ll hear stories about gin's role in British history—from being the drink of both aristocrats and the impoverished to its role in London's opium dens and criminal underworld. Your guide will share amusing and often dark tales of how gin became “Mother’s Ruin” and how, at one point, even London’s children drank it regularly.
Throughout the tour, you’ll discover how gin’s origins stem from a British rivalry with France, learn about the science behind distilling, and master the art of pairing gins with the perfect garnishes and mixers, including the story behind the classic combination of gin and tonic. You’ll end your tour at one of London’s opulent gin palaces, leaving you well-versed in the rich and intoxicating history of this iconic British spirit.
